Hi guys! I think there should be a simple solution to this but I haven't found it yet. So every time I drag the timeline boarders to change their duration, this gigantic, annoying preview pops up and blocks everything! Is there a way to disable this? Because this is really disturbing my workflow! I can't see where I'm dragging the animation to and using this method as apposed to cutting then deleting is faster because I'm making frame by frame animation. I haven't done animation in PS in awhile but I do remember this preview does NOT exist back when I first used PS (probably PS5) Please help!

Hi MagikHelfire,

As you're seeing a preview everytime you drag the timeline to the border, could you please try resetting the preferences of Photoshop and let us know if it helps with the issue? Preferences in Photoshop

Also, could you please let us know which exact version of PRODUCT you're working on and which operating system are you using?

Regards,

Sahil

Hello Sahil,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried resetting it but it didn't work.

I'm using Photoshop CC 2018 on Windows 10

Here's a screen cap of what's happening. The preview window blocks the video AND the timeline, two of the most important info in animation.

Regards,

Magik

    Seems like only my preview blocks the video layer itself??


    For me, this is happening because I am using a large 4K monitor.  When the desktop resolution is set to 4K, text is too small to read, so windows helpfully increases the magnification of text and apps in settings.  Anything above 100% causes this little preview popup to become so large it hides the timeline, and shrinks the actual video preview within the popup window to be so small that it isn't useful.  Since the original post was 2018, I'm guessing Adobe doesn't know or doesn't care about this little inconvenience.
